    arcserve database connection

    I am trying to create a reporting module for our server backups. I can get into the Veritas backup databases, through a SQL connection. Any ideas as to how I would connect to an Arcserve database? Arcserve seems to add an ODBC by Centura, if this helps. Thanks, N'Bloke

    Spanning Tree Updates - Disables LAN Port

    I've been thrown into a network to try and solve a problem... The network is built around Cisco 3750G, using VLANs. The problem is that when a mobile workstation is connected via a Linksys 5 port switch (EZXS55w), the 3750G shuts down that port. I'm told that this is due to the spanning tree...

    Public variable on forms 1 & 2

    OK, This must be a missprint, as my book definately says to put the declaration in Form1. I'll carry on using Modules for Public vars. Thanks, N'Bloke.

    Public variable on forms 1 & 2

    Newbie question, so my appologies. Have I missed something glaringly obvious?? if I declare a variable on Form1 as public, shouldn't I be able to see it on Form2 ?? I can put the declaration onto a standard module, but is that the way it should be ?? sorry, I may be misreading this stuff.

    thanks - i hadnt changed the source, so I could only get one field to be used for the selection. BUT this now brings another problem: I want to look at all books with Author of Microsoft. can I use the same report and pass wildcards, or do I need to learn how to use forms (or alternatives) to...

    Crystal reports 4.5 - BTrieve 2.12

    this is a stab in the dark, and straw clutching. I have some BTR files *DDF files - using the BUTIL app they do look like BTrieve files. I have a very old btrieve ODBC driver 2.12 (when it was INTERSOLV). this is all running on Win95 - thats why its all old. the files were created from our...

    A program to work out the number of open cells?

    I hate to say this but it does look like a very simple question, overly verbose to attempt to complicate things. If this was a homework assignment then it is probably aiming to see that you can weed the info out of the chaff. As the above asnwer states: 1 array of integers set to 1 (initially)...
